Excuse my inexperience, but what are the reasons that make you believe that TIPS price is not affected by speculation ? couldn't interaction of demand and supply distort greatly its value ?

Does TIPS real value suffer from a change in interest rates like any other bond or not ? If the answer is yes, liquidity would be compromised. Is available on the market any form of possible hedge opportunity regarding such fluctuations ?

Excessively amorphous to draw a descent conclusion.

Thats what I meant, thank you sir.

Cmon, stop teasing us, where is the link of those Buffet letters ?:)

Devil Take the Hindmost: A History of Financial Speculation by Edward Chancellor

:D It isn't - at least thats what one would say in a right state of mind. In current Brazils case, the only effective remedy to a totally out-of-control rampant inflation scenario are sky high interest rates. Its the old brazilian dilemma: inflation vs high interest rates. You cant solve...

Brazils last default (and only, but I may be wrong) was in the 80s. Since then some folks have been making so much money just enjoying brazilian sky high interest rates its not even funny. In the mid 90s, a time whereh the inflation there was next to zero, the treasure bonds rates were in the...

Damn you beat me to it (not that I was going to call him a complete BSer, I just was going to post the same site) I like this part the most: oh and also this one :D

poor trees. The problem you are pointing out lays in the mankind reproduction process, not in capitalism. The merit of this issue is much more in how much we are than how much we consume. The mankind reproductive process my friend. If all countries had the same population density as China we...

hehe, good thread :D

all my work, all my effort... its journey starts at the subjective atmosphere of the untouchable spirits and reaches the objectivism as the supreme goal... and all that is possible on account of the path of materialism. To feel without being able to touch is nothing but memory territory. At...

One thing is to be incompetent in controlling the borders, another thing is giving illegal aliens drivers license, WTF

Dear God, did I, in a material way, choose to exist or my birth is a result of an arbitrary wish of yours ? also, is pre martial sex a sin ?

I have been living in Brazil for 21 years and uhm Im to lazy to make a descent contribution to this thread right now. By the way, whats the sense of visiting 3rd world countries, is it a neo hippie thing or something that I am unaware of ?

got a pic of the supposed victim, doesn't like the type who would do drugs and have a violent behavior...

that may be true, but I also wonder if it was indeed a good idea, but performed wrongly. We will never know.

I have a crush for overdose of endogenous substances. And since cigars make me high I think I should put em on the list. and oh since I cant despise the possibility of myself entering in a politic career in the future I am, so far, the lone voter of "Never Tried Drugs, Never Want To."...
